Russia guilty of prolonging war in Syria: UK foreign minister

A 31-truck convoy was attacked on Monday night, killing around 20 civilians. U.S. officials believe Russian aircraft were responsible for the strike, but Moscow has denied involvement.

"(Russia) are guilty of protracting this war and making it far more hideous," Johnson told the BBC's Andrew Marr show.

"When it comes to instances such as the bombing of aid targets in Aleppo, we should be looking at whether or not that targeting is done in the knowledge that those are wholly innocent civilian targets, that is a war crime."
